Vauxhall has announced a new sub-brand which will offer performance versions of its electric car range.
It says the GSe brand, standing for Grand Sport Electric, will offer sporty looks and driver-focused chassis set-ups.
Vauxhall has previously sold performance versions of its petrol and diesel cars with the GSi badge.
Vauxhall’s electric car range currently includes EV versions of the Corsa and Mokka, as well as the van-derived Combo Life and Vivaro Life. An electric version of the latest Astra will join the range next year.
Vauxhall, which has committed to having a 100% EV range by 2028, is yet to confirm details of any GSe models.
Vauxhall acting managing director James Taylor said: “GSe will offer sports handling and looks combined with the performance and responsibility of electrified powertrains.
“Sitting atop the newly simplified Vauxhall range, the GSe name is both a nod to GSi performance models from our heritage as well being a complement to the GS versions in our line-up today.”
